[3] Having the silo centrally located greatly reduced labour involved in livestock feeding and resulted in a stronger facility than the rectangular structures.

[6] In 1886 the Bell Farm owned 45 reapers, and binders, 78 ploughs, 6 mowers, 40 seeders, 80 sets of harrows and seven steam threshing outfits to plant and harvest 5,000 acres (20 km2) of Red Fyfe wheat, oats and potatoes crop.

[3] Korvemaker has had experience with the Saskatchewan Heritage Foundation and was instrumental in preserving the Claybank Brick Plant National Historic Site.

[7] Margaret Hryniuk, Frank Korvemaker, and Larry Easton contacted the barn's owner, Dan Walker in 2005.

The campaign received $50,000 from James Richardson International (JRI)[9] towards rebuilding the Bell Farm barn and establishing an interpretive centre for Western Canadian Agriculture.

[12] A sheet-metal roof with 30 square air vents for light and ventilation,[5] surrounds an 8-sided cupola in the center which was the upper extension of the silo and look-out tower.

[15] The provincial and federal governments will not commit to designating the barn with heritage status as it will not be re-constructed on its precise original site.
